Our Workshop Leader

Patty Lyons is a nationally recognized knitting teacher and technique expert. In her pursuit of training the mindful knitter, Patty is known for teaching the “why” in addition to the “how.” She specializes in sweater design and sharing her love of the much-maligned subjects of gauge and blocking.

Wherever knitters are gathered, there is a good chance of finding Patty. She teaches all over the United States at guilds, shops, and knitting shows. Patty’s popular classes can also be found on DVD, and online at Interweave, Annie’s and Craftsy.

Patty’s designs and knitting technique articles have been published in Vogue Knitting, Interweave Knits, Knit Purl, Knitter’s Magazine, Cast On, Knit Style, Creative Knitting, and Twist Collective. Her designs have also appeared in pattern collections from Classic Elite, Noro, Cascade, Tahki Stacy Charles, Sugar Bush and Willow Yarns. Her video sweater classes can help every knitter achieve their dream sweater. You can find Patty on the regular at her website and on Ravelry.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

Is Patty’s Favorite Knitting Hacks suitable for beginning knitters? Yes—but you will need to know how to knit, purl, bind off, and knit long tail cast on in slingshot position. You can review the long tail cast on with Patty here. 

How should I get ready for the workshop? Gather the things you’ll need above. We will send out a reminder email the morning of the event with the Zoom link.

What’s the format? With Patty’s instruction and an overhead camera focused on her hands, we’ll learn Patty’s favorite knitting hacks. Participant mics will be muted most of the time due to the size of the group, but we hope you’ll ask questions in the chat, which we’ll monitor constantly during the workshop and answer as possible during the workshop.

What if I want to work at my own pace? That’s perfectly fine. All participants will receive a recording after the event for you to review. 

I can’t make it to the Zoom session. May I still participate? Sure! Everyone enrolled in the workshop will receive a link to the recording and all resources we share.
